Auburn athletics budget expected to eclipse $113 million

I hope I have this wrong, but if not....looks like the ACC is about to be outpaced by the huge sum folks were predicting:


Media payout (based on revenue divided by # of teams.  No HQ payout, etc)
Conference 2015-2014 2014-2013
ACC Per Team - $20,800,000
SEC Per Team $32,313,000 $20,900,000
Big 12 Per Team $26,596,478 $23,000,000
PAC Per Team - $20,000,000
BIG Per Team - $26,500,000


Auburn athletics budget expected to eclipse $113 million


"Auburn says its revenue has jumped from $46 million to $108 million in the last 10 years.

  1. The ACC $20M number is just multimedia rights only.
    The SEC $32M is "revenues from the SEC and multimedia rights"
    need to add in ACC bowl + CFP + basketball revenue, etc.
    ( note: bowl + CFP alone was $3.5M per team --> see http://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2014/12/bowl-payouts-2014-15.html )

    Do I think the ACC w/o a cable network can match the SEC with one? No, but the difference is a lot less than $12M/year! ACC needs two things: (1) a cable network, and (2) a better Orange Bowl deal.

  2. "The ACC $20M number is just multimedia rights only." Not accurate at all. Not sure why you believe that, but simply not the case. In fiscal year 2014, the ACC received approx. $291 Million for EVERYTHING (up from $232 the previous year). This is how you account for the approx. $20 million number.

    There may be some other explanation going on here I don't know about, but that ACC figure is from everything, NOT just media rights.

    Could be the year the gap explodes.
